To disable Layer 2 Gateway STP on a VTEP, enter the spanning-tree domain disable CLI command. This
command disables Layer 2 Gateway STP on all EVPN ESI multihomed VLANs. The bridge MAC address
is restored to the system MAC address, and the VTEP may not necessarily be the root. In the following case,
the access switch has assumed the root role because Layer 2 Gateway STP is disabled:
switch(config)# spanning-tree domain disable
switch# show spanning-tree summary
Switch is in mst mode (IEEE Standard)
Root bridge for: none

With Layer 2 Gateway STP, the access ports on VTEPs cannot be in an edge port, because they behave like
normal spanning-tree ports, receiving BPDUs from the access switches. In that case, the access ports on
VTEPs lose the advantage of rapid transmission, instead forwarding on Ethernet segment link flap. (They
have to go through a proposal and agreement handshake before assuming the FWD-Desg role).
